A COMPANY 0F DELAWARE Y l TOBACCO PIPE Application led June 30,

simple and effective device of this character which will give a sweet,cool,'dry smoke.

Another object of the invention is to soarrange the structural detailsthat accumulated moisture or saliva will be prevented from reenteringthe tobacco bowl or the draft passage through the stem. y

A further object of the invention is to generally improve theconstruction .of pipes Vof this character to not only prevent the returnof moisture to the tobacco bowl orthe stem,

but which, to some eXtentfat least, will separate some of thedeleterious substances and lprevent the same from passing into thenation of elements hereinafter set forth and v.then specificallydesignated by the claims.

l In order that those yskilled in the art -to which this inventionappertainsmay understand how to use and make the same,'we will describeits construction in detail, referring by numerals to the accompanying'drawings forming a part of this application, in whichz 'n 'y Fig. 1 is alongitudinal sectional view'of a tobacco pipe embodying one form of'ourinvention with a part ofthe mouth piece left in elevation. i y y Fig. 2is a similar view of kanother form of Vthe invention.

Y Fig. `9 is a similarv view of a furtherr modification embodyingfeatures shown .in` Figs. 1and2. v

ln carryingvout the invention as embodied in Fig. 1, 10 representsthe-pipe bowl which is carried `by the stem 11 and said stem hasa bore12, the'outer end of which'may receive thel mouth Vpiece 13 whiletheinner'end has anoutlet 14'leading to the bottom of the'pipe bowl. Theoutlet 14 is normally closed by a cap or closure 15 havingthreadedengagement with the lower ends of the pipe bowl as indicated at16 land said closure is provided .with a collar 17 of smallercircumferencethan the closure so as to be inside ofthe rim on which thethreads jareformed andi this collar is adapted to register with'theannular recess 18v surrounding the outlet 14an`din which may be mounteda gasket crm-packing when the lclosure is mounted on the pipe andthereby prevent any possibility of leakage.

In the bowl 10 is formedpthe tobacco 're ceiving chamber`20. the'lowerend ofr which terminates short ofthe bore 12 but communicates with thelatter through an opening 21 in which is nfiounteda, tube `22so'tha-tthe lowerend thereof projects into the bore" 12 with the lowerterminal'ofsaid tubel spaced from all the walls ofthe pine or moreparticularly. all the walls of the` bore 12V intoY which thetubeprojects and therefore no 'ma-t# Vter whatposition Vthe pipe mayassume,the

liquid accumulations in thebore 12 will notV pass through said tubeintothe tobaccofre-k ceivingchamber. .Y u VA tube 23 is also mounted inthe draftpassageway 24through Vthe mouth piece'with an ring-19 to becompressed by thecollar"17 7b ibo so that after the very first puff, thesmoke should be dryer and cooler.

To carry out the same ideas and objects in used to actually receivethe'tobacco while in Fig. 2 this chamber is only to receive a removabletobacco holding vbowl 27, the lower end of which is preferably smallerthan the chamber 26 so as to leave a space between the contiguous wallswhile at the upper end of the bowl 27 are external threads which engageinternal threads on the inside of the pipe bowl 25 as shown at 28 andfurther, the upper edge of the bowl 27 is provided with a flange 29 tooverlie or partially surround the edge ofthe pipe bowl proper.Communication between the interior of the bowl 27 and the chamber 26 ishad through vholes 30 in the bowl 27. Y f

With the main pipe bowl is formed the stem 31 having a bore 32lengthwise thereof in the outer end of which is mountedthe mouth piece33 and said bore 32 at or adjacent its inner end is in communicationwith the chamber 26 in the bowl through a hole 34.

In the hole 34 is mounteda tube 35 having its lower end projecting somedistance into the bore 32 whereby the lower terminus of said tube isspaced from all the walls of th-e pipe and more particularly the wallsof the bore 32 to prevent passage of accumulated moisturek or foreignmatter in the bore from entering the pipe bowl.

'Ihe tube 36 is mounted in the draft passageway 37 of the mouth pieceinsuch manner that the outer end of said tube projects some distancefrom the mouth piece and when in use extends a considerable distanceinto the bore 32 so that the free terminus thereof is spaced from all ofthe walls of the pipe to prevent the accumulations within the bore 32from passing into the tube and thence through the mouth piece into thesmokers mouth. Y

In Figs. 4to 7 inclusivewe have shown a tobacco pipe including a bowl38, an angular stem 39, and a mouthjpiece40. In each instance, the stemhas a bore 41 in the outer end of which is mounted the mouth piece andthelatter is provided with a draft. passage-y way 42. Y

In the inner end of the draft passageway is mounted a tube 43 whichprojectsaiconsiderable distance into the bore 41 so that the innerterminus of th-e tube 43is spaced from all the walls of the pipe toprevent the passage of accumulations from within the bore 41 to themouth piece.

In Figs. 4 and 5lthe pipe bowl has a tobacco receiving chamber 44 with areduced opening 45 leading to an intermediate chamber 46, the

latter being so fashionedthat what Vmight be termed a lower cornercommunicates with the bore 41 near the latters lower end.

In Fig. 4, a plug 47 is socketed in the reduced opening 45 while in Fig.5 the plug 47 a is threaded into the reduced opening 45 and the upperportions of Vthese plugs are so formed that they produce thelowercurvedpart of the tobacco bowl or chamber and blend into the side wallsof the tobacco chamber 44.

Each plug has a hole through it in which is mounted aptube 48 so thatthe lower end projects into the intermediate chamber 46 a suflicientdistance to space the lower terminus of the tube over all the walls ofthe pipe and prevent the accumulations in the intermediate chamber orthe bore from passing into the tobacco chamber.

In Fig. 6 the chamber 49 in the bowl is the tobacco chamber and saidchamber communic'ates with the bore 41 through an opening 50 Vin whichis mounted a tube 51 having its inner end extending some distance intothe bore 41 so that the terminus of said tube is spaced from all of thewalls of the pipe. e

The same general principles are carried out in Fig. 7 with the exceptionthat the chamber 52 receives the tobacco bowl 53 having threadedengagement atk its upper end with the upper end of the pipe bowl asindicated at 54 and said tobacco bowl is pro-vided with a flange or rim55 to surround or partiallyy openings 56 inthe bottom of the tobacco;

bowl.

` rIhe chamber 52 is in communication with the bore 41 through a hole 57in which is mounted a tube 58 having its lower end extending into thebore 41 ak considerable distance whereby the lower terminus of said tubeis spaced from all the walls of the pipe.

In Fig. 8, we have shown a further modification of our invention bymeans of which a number of independent chambers are provided, but ofcourse all are in communication so that the'smoke that lcan travelfromthe bowl to the mouth piece is compelled totake a circuitous routeand will be delayed inV its final passage from the mouth piece andtherefore will be cool and fairly dry. In thisform of the invention, 59represents aA pipe bowl having a tobacco chamber 60 and said bowl iscarried by the stem 61, which, while it vmay be of lanylength,ispreferably short as shown and has abore 62 in communicationwith the tobacco chamber 60 through a hole 63 and if found desirable, Aatube 64 may be placed in said hole with the endof the .tube extendingsome distance into the bore 62 whereby Ase y:ai

bore 67 extending lengthwise from one end v to a point short of thepassageend land through the balance of said extensionstem element isforme-d a hole 68 considerably smaller than the bore 67 and in this holeis mounted a tube 69, one end of which project-s beyond the end oftheelement while the otherV end projects into the bore 67 and these endsextend a suicient distance tospace the terminus of the tubes from all ofthe surrounding walls of the pipe.

Each element is also provided with aplug 70 at the end carrying the tube69 and said plug is to be soclreted in the bore 62 of the regular pipestem or in thebore of another similar extension element and while forconvenience of illustration, l have shown saidplugs as being merely slidintotlie bores ofthe coacting parts, it will be obvious that they can beprovided with threads, bayonet joints or other suitable attaching means.j

.As will be obvious by reference to the drawings, the element which isconnected with the pipe stem has one end of its tube projecting into thebore of the pipe stem and if there is a second or more elements, thenthe tube or tubes of said other element oreleinents Vwill project intothe bore of an adjacent element while the mouth piece il-willproject-'into the bore of the outermost extension stem element.` l:
